Joining the Ruidoso
Oktoberfest this year will be two amazingly talented young men from Piesendorf,
Austria. The younger brothers of Sepp
Holler, who performed along with Walter Berger (Tauern-x-Press) at the 2003 Ruidoso
Oktoberfest, Günter and Daniel have been performing throughout Austria for
several years.
Günter is 14 years old and plays the accordian. His brother Sepp is teaching him
his award winning secrets, and he is showing some great talent. While he loves
to play and perform, Günter eventually wants to become a cook.
Daniel is 13 years old and plays the guitar. His teachers are his brother Sepp
and Walter Berger. Daniel is the singer in the band.
In addition to their musical talents, both Günter and Daniel have studied
Schuhplattln and Volkstanzen for several years. Their youthful interests also
include “Rankln" which is a combination of Sumo wrestling and Judo. During the
winter they compete as ski racers. The boys are the local ski champions, and
have won a lot of prizes on the slopes.
Joining them on their first trip to the United States will be their mother,
Maria. She is always helping them to improve there musical skills, as Maria was
known as a very good singer in her younger years. According to the boys (and her
many fans), she makes the worlds best Apfelstrudel and Topfenstrudel.
